USPS Sensor errors

[brianjking]

Make sure you are running the latest version of Home Assistant before reporting an issue.

You should only file an issue if you found a bug. Feature and enhancement requests should go in the Feature Requests section of our community forum:

Home Assistant release (hass --version):

0.46

Python release (python3 --version):

Python 3.4.2

Component/platform:

sensor.usps

Description of problem:

USPS Sensor should show Informed Delivery as well as Packages. Only Informed Delivery shows, generally requires deletion of usps_cookies.pickle in between restarts now as well.

Expected:

• Should show USPS Informed delivery & USPS packages. I do have scheduled packages in my my.usps.com dashboard with valid tracking, including one out for delivery right now.

Problem-relevant configuration.yaml entries and steps to reproduce:

- platform: usps
  username: !secret usps_username
  password: !secret usps_password
  name: 'USPS'

- platform: template
  sensors:
      packages_in_transit:
        friendly_name: "Packages in Transit"
        value_template: >
          {% macro in_transit(sensor) %}
            {{sensor.state|int - delivered(sensor)|int}}
          {% endmacro %}
          {% macro delivered(sensor) %}
            {% if 'delivered' in sensor.attributes %}
              {{sensor.attributes.delivered}}
            {% else %}
               0
            {% endif %}
          {% endmacro %}
          {{in_transit(states.sensor.usps_packages)|int + in_transit(states.sensor.fedex)|int}}
      deliveries_today:
        friendly_name: "Today's Deliveries"
        value_template: >
          {% macro delivered(sensor) %}
            {% if 'delivered' in sensor.attributes %}
              {{sensor.attributes.delivered}}
            {% else %}
               0
            {% endif %}
          {% endmacro %}
          {{delivered(states.sensor.usps_packages)|int + delivered(states.sensor.fedex)|int}}

• Relevant forum thread

• Paging @happyleavesaoc Thank you for all that you do, please advise as to how I might be able to fix this whenever you have a chance.

[happyleavesaoc]

@brianjking Appears to be a bug in python-myusps. It will need to be fixed and updated in HA.

[brianjking]

@happyleavesaoc Ok, thanks. I guess it's not just broken for me then. Let me know if you fix it in python-myusps and I can manually update without waiting for 0.47 HA.

[happyleavesaoc]

@brianjking It's broken because one of your tracked packages probably doesn't have a tracking number. Check for that if you can and just delete that one. See if that helps.

[brianjking]

@happyleavesaoc Both of my packages are both valid tracking #'s.

[brianjking]

I also have to delete the usps_cookies.pickle everytime I restart HA all of the sudden. Otherwise not even the USPS Mail sensor loads.

[brianjking]

@happyleavesaoc -- It now shows the packages after I deleted the custom names. However, it's still not showing that one is out for delivery (has been since 9:00am and it's currently 13:19hr).

[happyleavesaoc]

@brianjking Ah! The custom name is not accounted for in python-myusps. I have fixed this locally.

I'm not sure yet about your other two issues.

There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub notifications, we have to clean some of the old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates.

Please make sure to update to the latest Home Assistant version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍

This issue will be auto-closed because there hasn't been any activity for a few months. Feel free to open a new one if you still experience this problem 👍
